Volume 2
taken from Curtis Hoffman's db_vol02.sum
Volume two starts out with the Magical Cow King
(Gyuu Maou) needing help in putting out the fires of Mt. Frypan. Gokuu
rushes out to get Kamesennin, who will only do the job if Buruma will
show him her breasts. Kamesennin then bulks up (putting Sylvester
Stalone to shame,) and uses Kamehame-ha (a power blast) to not only put
out the fires, but to accidently destroy the mountain at the same time.
Buruma coerces Oolong into changing into her double to fulfill her part
of the bargain in her place. Gyuu Maou offers his daughter to Gokuu,
and Yamcha hurriedly rushes back to administer to the girl that he'd
beaten up in the first volume. Chi Chi doesn't understand why two men
(boys, really,) appear, knowing her name within an hour of each other,
but is flattered at finding out that she has a boyfriend (she just
doesn't know who the boyfriend is.)
Kamesennin states that it took him 50 years to master Kamehame-ha,
but Gokuu picks it up right away, then understands everything when Gyuu
Maou calls Gokuu by name. [Note: Kamesennin travels to Mt. Frypan via
Baby Gamera, and gets so dizzy that he throws up.] The rubble of the
mountain contains a Dragon Ball, bringing Buruma's total up to 6.
Buruma, Gokuu, and Oolong continue on to find the last ball (Buruma uses
her Dragon Radar to locate it,) with Yumcha and Pool following closely
behind. They arrive in Usagi-dan (Usagi == Rabbit) for a silly
side-story. Oyabun needs to touch someone to turn them into a carrot,
and has his goons beat up Gokuu. Yamcha is forced to help Gokuu, so
that Buruma can be restored and can find the last Dragon Ball for him.
At the end, Gokuu uses his staff to take Oyabun and goons to the moon
(the joke is the Japanese equivalent of the western "man in the moon":
"The rabbit pounding mochi on the moon.")
As the gang continues on, not knowing that Pilaf has the last Ball,
they are ambushed. Pilaf's sidekick takes the Balls that Buruma had
found, and all her capsules, but misses the Ball that Gokuu claims
contains the soul of his grandfather. Pilaf allows the group to enter
his castle, so that he can entrap them. His plan to use an "etchie
attack" against Buruma backfires: the attack is simply to blow kisses at
her, and Buruma is expecting a whole lot worse. Pilaf uses sleeping gas
on his prisoners (and himself.) But, his sidekicks do manage to find
the Ball Gokuu is carrying, and they go outside to summon the Great
Dragon God to let Pilaf make his wish for world domination.
Gokuu uses kamehame-ha to make a small hole in the prison wall, which
allows Pool and Oolong to change into bats and escape. Oolong, the coward
that he is, wants to run away, when he realizes that the first person to
make a demand of the Dragon God wins. So, as Pilaf is stuttering away,
Oolong yells out that he wants a pair of panties. He gets his wish, the
Dragon disappears, and the Balls fly off in separate directions.
Everyone is disappointed to find out that the wish can only be
made once a year. Pilaf imprisons the group in a cell with metal walls
and a skylight. By noon the next day, the heat will be so great that the
group will die. This is when Gokuu tells his friends about
were-monkeys. As a joke, he looks at the full moon. Everyone else is
relieved when nothing happens. Right away. Gokuu turns into a monster
monkey, trashes Pilaf's castle, and nearly kills people on both sides.
Yamcha remembers that grabbing Gokuu's tail had caused the boy to go
limp, so he tries this on the monster, and Pool cuts the tail off.
Gokuu immediately reverts and falls asleep. When he comes to, he takes
the loss of his tail calmly, but has also lost his sense of balance.
Afterwards, he runs to the rubble of Pilaf's castle to recover his
staff. During which, Buruma and Yamcha bemoan the foiling of their
plans to find lovers -- before realizing that each was made for the
other.
Buruma and Yumcha plan on getting to know each other better, but drag
Pool and Oolong along for the ride. Gokuu wants to get the Dragon Balls
back, so that he can bring his grandfather back to life. Gokuu flies
off to Kamesennin's island, because the old man apparently knows
something about Gokuu's past. But, the old pervert is busy watching
an aerobics show. Gokuu learns about Giri giri girls (they're very
"healthy") and he runs off to get a very "healthy" girl for the old man.
